Lowkey just wanna learn to belt so I can sing Veronica’s songs in heathers
Peggy Schuyler me too hahaha
Peggy Schuyler this is literally why I’m on this video, I’m getting ready to perform a song in class oof
Peggy Schuyler ...I...I feel so exposed- Like I- my gosh am I that obvious it’s been 20 seconds into the video and I’ve already been found out by a stranger tho 😂
HI PEGGY And same lol Barrett is insane 😂😂
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SAMEEEE
Who else can belt when they are alone, but their vocal chords literally stop working around other people Edit: wow, I guess this is really relatable 😂
LITERALLY ME
Meeeeee 😂
Put in earbuds or earplugs when around others, and see if that makes a difference. You’ll feel like you’re in your own little bubble.
Brooke T I've felt that before how frustrating does that feel?
Omg why is this me
me: *practically screaming* my mom: what on earth are you doing me: oh im just working out
HAHA BE LIKE “MOM IM JUST PRACTISING FOR MY SHOW” “UR IN A SHOW?” “NOT YET THATS WHY IM PRACTISING”
LMAO
My mom is now coming at me with a shoe
𝙊𝙤𝙛
💀💀💀😂
You while running: hey hEy HEY
you mean "*belt*"
hhahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahah!!!1
So, I sing to my daughter every night at bed time, and the night after watching this I incorporated some of these techniques into her bed time songs and she said, "wow, your voice is beautiful". So, thank you for that.
Aaaw such a nice daughter!
Me too! I practice for my daughter ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love this!
Aww this is the kind of relationship I want to have with my daughter once I have one 😍
...and coming from a child... you know it's the truth. ❤❤
The rules align perfectly with the blinds I'm dying it's perfect
lol
I love it so much
I came to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed
I swear she did this on purpose but I’m not complaining
ocd diaries

Strawberry Yogurt saaaaame 😂
MEEEE
I've honestly stopped caring who's around and listening...
The whole point is that its coming from the heart and no one should matter apart from you
Blast yr room with loud music n thr u go u can scream as loud as u cannnnn
That moment when you’re not a vocal student, but you’re trying to learn how to sing your favorite show tunes in the car without making your own ears bleed. Also this is very helpful!
Oh my god you just described me hahaha! I have never sang in front of a living human before but just emailed a vocal instructor for the first time because I want to stop murdering songs I love hahahaha! I'm scared though, don't know if I'll actually go.
What a mood
Thats a MOOD
That's so why I'm here 😂
THIS IS SOOO ME! For me it's Les Misérables.
No one: *me at 3 a.m* hey hEy HeY HEY HEYYYYYY HHHEEEEEEYYYYY

HAHA SAMEDT
BAHAHAHA
Eyyy 3 am squad!
“make sure you take time to practice this” me: *is watching cause i have an audition tomorrow: oh shit
SAME
SAMEE
Same but mine’s 3 eays

@@rat5800 how'd it go?
Video: support your abs. Me: *looks down* Also me: i dont have any abs
Everyone has abs, some are just more visible than others depending on the person's body fat percentage and fitness level.
I have an ab, just one.
@@classixdrummer same and it's squishy!
@@justslightly7794 actually you do, try coughing and you can feel them tighten
@@koreyk.2002 I'm quite happy with my one squishy ab that entirely takes up my stomach, thank you
I'm too shy to make these loud noises because of my neighbours 😥😥😥
I stopped caring a while ago, I wanna learn lol
Alejandra Escutia Angulo YOU GO GIRL! 🤗 I stopped caring too!
Alejandra Escutia Angulo Lmao same
Go in your car, drive to an empty parking lot, and sing in your car! That's what I do!
Do it in the car but not so loud will hurt ears. Go outside to location where there are no people or you can see people but they are too far away to hear. That is what I do.
No one: Literally No one: Her one year old baby: HEEEYYY HEY(in perfect pitch)
No joke this made my vibrato go absolutely wild. I didn’t even think I could do vibrato. Just goes to show what a little squatting can do
Me alone in my room: hey hEY HEY!! Neighbors: Is she good?
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I'd like
Where did this poem come from? 😂 ^
Finally i can sing “satisfied” properly
lmao
💕 Love
I’m seeing Hamilton tomorrow
mood
That’s actually why I’m here lol
Guys, she ain’t jokin’, I hit the belt in “no time to die” in twenty minutes
oh shitttt
lucky I live in an apartment
syra i love in an appartment too, my parents werent home and i wasnt going all out. you can belt without being very loud hehe
@@marsl1ght I rlly wanna learn hehe
woah that's an achievement
Me: belting “Into the unknown for frozen 2 Neighbors: I can hear you ,but I won’t , some look for trouble while others don’t ,theirs a thousand reasons I should go about my day and ignore your whispers which I wish would go away
*and ignore your belts which I wish would go away
@@PinkMelatonin yeees
Mari Wyre I have a feeling they are not whispers
more like yelling lmao
@@tasty_beans7758 I am laughing so much I can't 😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t sing comfortably because I don’t want my fam to her me :))
Charlotte Harper same
Same
I had the same problem so I just went in my moms car. it helps and you can turn the radio on Idk if this helps but good luck👍👍
Just go in the bathroom and turn on the air in the bathroom to block out the sound from being so loud I’ve been doing that for years to improve my singing without my family hearing or go in the basement if you have one
So i have a bunch of people who aren't family living in my house cause my mum helps people. Anyway i learned to asert dominance by singing dancing and doing whatever i want but please only do that if ur comfortable and if your allowed to do it and if its safe. Don't want to get u in trouble.
I love hearing cute little Ashland belting along in the background. He's gonna make an amazing singer some day!
hehe'
Everyone in the comments: Watching this to sing Into the Unknown Me: Watching this so my parents wake up to a beautiful cover of the "Sophia the First" theme song
That is amazing
Auroraaaaaa the best singer
It’s been a year, did you do it yet? Also, you should sing Rise and Shine from Sofia the First to wake them up lol
Her: Before you start singing, start with saying “Hey”. My mind: If you could marry a sister, your rich, son. - Is it a question of “if”, Burr, or which one? Me singing: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
I DO I DO I DO I DO (agree ;D)
??
@@alexianeagu5742 It‘s a Hamilton reference
I was thinking: “Hey! Hey! Hey! In the greatest city, in the greatest city in the WwWwWwOoOoOoRrRrRrRrLlLlLdDdDDDDDDDDDDDDDD”
I came here wanting to learn how to belch. Clearly there was a misunderstanding
EverythingIC LOL!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well played sir/madame
OMG XD
EverythingIC HAHAAHA
Bwahaha 🤣
I probably look like an idiot squatting in my dingy leggings looking at my phone yelling and trying to belt lol
LLLLLLLLLLLLLL *your profile picture* *L*
the likes👀
I was trying to belt "Hey!" And then my postman walked past the window and stared straight into my soul.
I feel bad for my neighbours. all they can hear is me screaming- *"HEY"*
"-PRACTICE often! -Have patience." 2 of the most important things. A lot of people seem to forget those. =)
Her: Drink lots of water Me: *chucks my Dr. Pepper across the room* MOM!! WE NEED MORE WATER
-mom:"points at toilet bowl"
Brendon Urie, watch out. I'm coming for you
I love this
I love how the comments are filled with theatre kids
Me too
And choir kids
@@jules4686 when your a choir kid and a theatre kid but your still an athlete and group leader of the mathletes
@@jaxonellbelurin472 failed humble... Brag?
@@maritime9297 I very much hide that I’m in mathletes and choir
4:05 kid in background yelling "hey" killed me xDD
KoKi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 same
i honestly thought this was going to be an ironic video about putting on a belt
brightsausage Exacly what my cousin thought
Haha 😂
Lmbo
I am the 666th like☺
I stopped getting compliments from my family, so I need to step up my game.
felt this.
Me toooo girll🤣🤣🤣
I laughed at your comment. Then i remembered i'm actually practicing for that exact same reason. Deym.
me except when I was eight
Wait.... you can practice in front of your family?!
I have always wanted singing lessons and i am literally sitting here crying 4:57 into your video because i have never ever acted upon it, but I researched songs to belt this morning and this came up. I started going along with it and this is the first time in my life I don't feel hopeless about singing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really mean that. Thank you
1 minute in, and already the best belting video on youtube. You're the only one who acknowledges you can belt in all three registers. It's not always "High ".
the baby is trying to sing too!! so cute >_
nobody: me watching this after trying to since regina george’s songs from mean girls:
same 💀
same! I would kill just to sing world burn perfectly just once
omg that's exactly why I came hereeee I really want to be able to sing World Burn
i came here cause i sang world burn and succeeded and then i tried again but failed so me too guys me too
Her: don’t be afraid to explore Me: *nervous at first* Me: *got a little bit of confidence* Me: *tried the warm up exercise a little different (I played around with my voice)* Me: *actually sounded kind of nice*
I always struggle with mix voice, belting and pretty much everything that involves singing louder or with more power, and I think it probably has something to do with the fact that I'm really shy. This video was really helpful, though. Thank you, Evynne!
+Vívian Cordeiro .... always remember ... you need good breathing to sing louder; I was VERY shy, that is why started singing.
+Vívian Cordeiro It has helped me with my shyness too.
Listen to Aretha Franklin
Nice hair
Ivie Cordeiro samee
Omg when I heard the baby say hey it was sooo cute I can’t even
I don’t get how to sing from my belly😭 everytime I try it just comes out of my throat
Same :c
I had that problem a lot, a tip try to do the hey thing and while doing it try to get your abs as tight as you can (do it often for like a week or two) and then it will just be muscle memories
I used to as well, just make your stomach real tight, take a deep breath, suck in your stomach and make it tight a little bit and just try singing some notes
How to use belly power: (Key tips before continuing: there should be no tension on the throat. Its all on the bottom of your butt. Push it down down down like youre taking the fattest shit of your life. Never release ab tension as long as youre singing) -imagine breathing with your feet -imagine youre inflating a swimming tube around your waist. Also inflate your lower back -imagine youre gonna carry a refrigerator 2x your size, add the "hmp!" that naturally goes with it -imagine the feeling of crying like a baby. Those things scream with their whole diaphragm. Have you heard of a baby that lost its voice from crying? Nope Finally how to actually use that in singing: Sing like an owl. Do it as light as possible. Fill your brain with sound And watch this vid. From noob to Ariana Grande in 15 minutes. kzhead.info/sun/l659krKkmZWXZ2w/bejne.html
Here, try this. Hold your hand up to your mouth, About 3-5 inches away, and pretend that your fingers are candles and you need to blow them out.
Aw that cute little baby still makes me smile, probably 6 yrs old now? I watch this again and again for practice and I always smile when I hear the baby joining the practice 😁
HOLY MOLY do you even know how beautiful you are... not to mention everything your saying is very intelligent and helpful!!!!!
Peter Hollens Evynne is positively amazing.
No peter, your beautiful...
Why're you here? XD You're the last person who needs vocal lessons
Peter Hollens omg your like a famous KZhead looking at this vid lollll who caress
Maybe you should take a closer look at their usernames and mayyybe that'll shed some light on it
If I do the same thing as the little girl did, my mom' be like " son shut up" instead of "good job!"
If it was me, it would've been about a different kind of belting.
corasundae hahaha
Duncan Lao story of my life
😂
@@corasundae 😂
I started shouting "hey", so my dog came over wanting attention. :D
UwU
Me: hey. Hey. HEY. *HEY!* My sister: *WHATTT?!*
aww your daughter made this video instantly cute
*son
oh im sorry lol
Kenny Cole it's okay bro I made the same before :D
Kenny Cole random question: Do you know where I can find good vocal exercises for bass. I need to improve my higher range
Over the last month, I’ve been able to raise my highest belt (healthy) from a C to a high G, and I’m hoping this video will help me raise it higher.
Any updates?
with all the heys i'm doing i can finally achieve my ultimate goal of singing the Arthur theme song with the perfection it deserves
" today I'm gonna be talking about belting " I've been getting it for years now
Morris Morrison oh my goodness that shouldn’t be a mood
I have always been a belter and I'm 13. I attend a musical theatre school on a Saturday. I also have a singing teacher but she sings classical, she doesn't let me use my chest voice. My singing teacher, music teacher and most people at school, who don't do musical theatre,say that belting is bad for you. But I always say that some people are built to belt (I have a wide range in my chest voice) and that you just need to use the right techniques. So please can you do a singing video about musical theatre singing. Thank you, love your videos. Xx
Amelia Stanham shakiras music teacher told her she couldn't sing. Don't listen to other people. We don't all sing or sound identical. You should eventually find a different vocal coach who won't keep you in a box and help you try new things.
@@tiff5756 Lmao worse than that she was told she sounded like a goat
Lol. My pastor who is my chorus vocal coach tells us he doesnt except anything else but belting. So every Sunday we belt.
What is ur vocal range ?
Omg same! I relate to this on a personal level!
I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO ALOT!!!! I have never been able to belt ever. I am the most falcetto person you could ever meet and I've had 6 singing teachers in the last 5 years and none of them have been able to teach me how to belt and this one 10 minute video has let me be able to. thankyou thankyou thankyou tahnkyou x1000 thankyou
Falcetto person, lol
Really ? Now u can belt ?
The only belt I know is the one around my Asian dad, especially when I got a B on an exam
Brian Gohjira hahahahaha
i was doing the hey thing, and my stepmom walked in and said, “are you okay?” 😂😂😂
right when you asked to say "hey" there was a stranger in front of me and looked at me confused lol (I was in my car)
VeronicaDay lol xD
Ha Ha Ha Ha
😂😂😂
🤣🤣 I just spat out my imaginary drink
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how your son is a natural born singer (well, no surprise considering the parents) Thank you for you videos they're so good!
Tfw you've been belting showtunes in your car on drives and KZhead starts recommending this video repeatedly. Note taken phone. Note taken. Side note: I very much appreciate this video. I never had the opportunity for vocal training and have 0 confidence in my voice (was always an instrumentalist first), but I've been endeavoring to learn and build my confidence. Thank you for providing such great resources like this one! It's really helped me start getting to where I want to be.
It’s so cute the kid repeating after you hey hey 😂 4:07
you make belting seem less scary! I've been more trained in the classical "space" in lessons but I'm trying to expand by genres and get my range back after having two kids ( and not singing much! :( ) thanks Evynne!
4:06 omg the cutest thing, why you were saying 'hey' your kid said hey😭❤️❤️
Practice 20 minutes a day, 2 hours impossible Barrett: Excuse me?
I just want to be able to sing “all I wanted was youuuuuuuaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”
YASSSSSSSS
Evynne, you're amazing and beautiful!! Both you and Peter are great singers!
+Jennifer Marie Thank You so much Jennifer!
I’m gonna sound insane going like HEY HEY HEY
Just want to sing “Satisfied,’ from Hamilton correctly
hahahahaha this is so true. i mean it’s not that i’m bad at it. i just can’t sing union and the hope that u provide
@a sock same
Lol you made my dog scared of me without me screaming & yelling just only projecting & no strain and lifting my head up I love you for that , I’m doing something right thank u sooo so so much ! lmao
When her kid started doing the exercise I DIED!

T&B N4L meeee
literally the reason I’m watching this rn. I’m glad I’m not the only one
Lol good
T&B N4L literally... i just wanna sing like idina gawd damn

Thumbs up for the singing baby! 😍
I had to laugh, I left your videos on play, I work as a 3D animator and was making a model of a belt for a character as this video started! Its a SIGN!!! :D
The baby in the background was so cute yelling “hey!” 😂
Dude as soon as she said you can belt in your head voice it just unlocked something in my brain. Not even a minute in
It's awesome to see that you are actually teaching the correct techniques! I've never trusted KZhead "voice teachers," but just came across this video. This includes a lot of what we talked about at the CCM Vocal Pedagogy Institue at Shenandoah University this past summer. And you're a great teacher - keep up the great work!
Who's here after listening to " Defying Gravity"?
a n i t r a Me! 😂 I‘m desperately trying to sing this song for a while now without sounding like a dieing cat. Still not great, but I‘m improving 💪🏼😄
Not defying gravity, but No good deed!
My favourite video ever. Always find myself coming back to it every time I want to learn a belting song hehe
this is my favorite voice lesson!! so helpful
Me: *trying to watch this video while there’s a stupid lawnmower outside* Also me: SHUT UP LAWNMOWER
This was excellent info and I adored the bit where Ash repeats you, very sweet.
This is fascinating! You explain things so well!
at 3:59 it was so cute that the baby was also yelling "hey". they also wanna learn to belt😂
I was cracking up 😆 when I heard your little singing partner.
I absolutely love These lessons they are so much Fun and so interesting
Great advice, tips and warm ups. I’ve always wanted to learn how to belt.
I've been going through belting videos for a while. this one is SO GOOD. thank you, so so so much.
I love this video!!! Definitely sharing it
I'm in love 😍 learning how to improve my vocals from home with someone who obviously has an incredible voice, but a great personality, and is so easy on the eyes 🥰
This video was so helpful! Great explanation
This helped a lot thanks, more in-depth than most descriptions in terms of how you can use it practically!
Thank you! I really want to learn to sing with a good tehcnique so I'm grateful for these lessons😊 And I'm really looking forward to hear your cover of Hello!! Stay well with Ashland and Peter ❤
"Hey hey" I just be sounding like the fairy in the legend of Zelda "hey listen"
😂😂like the fairy in zelda😂😂 so true
This really helped me, I’ve been singing in a belt for around a year now and I have constantly had the problem of volume and control. This really really helped me out!
you make me feel singing as an effortless thing! i love the way you own it!
i thought i could belt my whole life but my voice teacher told me that i actually just have a naturally strong head-mix? so here i am!
When you just wanna sing heathers
literally why i looked this up lmao
Mood
YES YES YES YES
I LOVE YOUR TECHNIQUES
Cannot believe I found you teaching on KZhead! Incredible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
